Super nice people, wide variety of stuff. Cheaper or same price as the terrible grocery options in Anacortes. Vegan creamers, milks, frozen stuff, produce, overall pretty good place and nicely laid out. read more

Nice market but they charge Orcus Island prices while still on the mainland. I was ripped off on a pint of rum. The young man said 27 bucks. I tried to argue but he said it was because of the high taxes. I was on my way somewere so I just paid it and left. Here in Marysville they charge 22 bucks for a full 5th. They charged 27 bucks for the PINT. Found out later it was suposed to be 15 bucks. I shouldn't have been in such a hurry. Everything else is overprices but at least it's a nice store with lots of home options. Everything in La Conner is over priced. One scoop of ice cream on a waffel cone is 12 bucks. read more

The breakfast burritos here are to die for. Excellently prepared. The drink selection is surprisingly expansive as well

A very friendly store to ship in. Most of the time the produce is fresh. Of cours, being a small city store they are limited. Just call and they are glad to check products and quantitie. We are fortunate to have this store. read more

On a recent glamping trip to La Conner, I found myself out of a few necessities so I hoofed over to the Pioneer Market one morning and was pleasantly surprised. This place looks small on the outside, but it has almost anything you could need on the inside! I was mighty impressed with the variety of everything from meat and produce to chips and beer. They even have a hot and cold deli, as well as an in-store espresso stand. This is truly a one-stop shop! Yeah, the prices are a little bit "La Conner" - but hey, they're the only game in town and if you need it, they probably have it. The staff I encountered was super friendly, too! read more

It smells like the rodent section of the pet store heavily. I wouldn't trust any food that isn't tightly packaged. The prices are too high and the store isn't very clean, but they're the only store like it in town so they can just get away with it. Friendly workers though. read more

See all

This place offers most essential items that one could need. Located just on the outskirt of downtown La Conner, this simple supermarket offers produce, meat, dairy, and some hardware. When I went, the produce did not look too fresh, but were not rotting either. Being in a small town, the place does not see as much foot traffic, and that probably has a effect on the prices and freshness of their stock. read more

Pioneer Market - the produce section of a grocery store - Grocery Near Me - La Conner, Washington

Vegan travelers looking for snacks for airbnb - Couldn't find tofu lol. Saw some frozen veggie patties, & they had daiya singles, some produce (tomato's, onions, potato's, Avos), Silk creamer, So delicious creamer, and "frans" sourdough English muffins -marked vegan. I was hoping for some toufutti creamcheese. And I think daiya salad dressing. read more

If you had asked me to write a review of Pioneer Market when I first started dating my wife (a La Conner local), I would have given it 2 stars. The prices are higher than Fred Meyer or Safeway or Haggen's. I used to cringe if I had to run to Pioneer to buy a spice if she ran out of one. That was 7 years ago. Today, it's a 5 Star review! Let me address the prices: Look, it's La Conner. You're a good 12 miles (or 20 minutes) from any of those chain grocery stores in Anacortes or Mt Vernon. So, the 50 cents more it costs for something is understandable - it's a Mom & Pop store in a town of 1,000 people. And no, they don't have room to stock every brand of every item. If you can't live without your favorite, specific brand of frozen chicken tenders, then head on out to 'town'. But I love the feeling I get shopping at Pioneer. The people are friendly, and Barry will go out of his way to get something for you! We can consistently get Smart Balance Organic at Pioneer (thanks, Barry!), but you can't get it at Fred Meyer or Safeway. So, yeah, it's a little more expensive. But you just saved an hour NOT driving to Anacortes and back. The beer cave is fabulous in such a small town. I think they advertise more than 300 beers, and I think they might have that many. They also have stouts and porters from Founders and New Holland that are hard to track down elsewhere! The deli is good; lots of options. Yeah, the parking lot is a little small... because it's La Conner. But here's the hidden gem - and some of you have found it - the breakfast burritos! You had better get there before 8:15 AM if you want to choose between bacon or sausage. Having lived in Central CA, I crave a good breakfast burrito from time to time. And it was a long time before I found a good one in WA. And that was at Little Mountain Grocery in Mt Vernon. But I don't spend a lot of time near Little Mountain Grocery. And then one morning about six months ago I was in Pioneer Market, and I saw these little beauties at the deli counter wrapped in tin foil with stickers that read 'Sausage' and 'Bacon'. So I took the plunge. They are amazing! The perfect mix of potatoes, egg, cheese, onions, meat. I was so thrilled! I prefer the bacon breakfast burritos, but they seem to sell out of the bacon burritos first each morning. I was in Mt Vernon for an early appointment recently so I swung by Little Mountain Grocery to get one of their breakfast burritos. It pales in comparison to the ones they make at Pioneer! I am so thrilled to be supporting our local grocery store AND getting a superior breakfast burrito! Pioneer Market - your local source for groceries, craft beers, and breakfast burritos that rock! read more

This review & rating is more for an employee rather than the store.... a woman named Leeann that was there 4/9 early evening is an incredible person and caring store clerk. She deserves all the praise. Yesterday I took a drive to LaConner (I live about 45 minutes away) because I needed to clear my head not because of what's going on in the world but due to a situation with other tenants where I live. Of course with the COVID19 closures and stay home orders it's hard to take a drive, but I had a tension headache for days that was on the verge of skipping into a migraine (even while in La Conner I had to take some anti-nausea medicine), my stress was at its limit, and I needed to get out. I wasn't thinking clearly, I just DROVE! My drive took me to La Conner where at 40, I can say I had not been there since I was a kid. I enjoyed strolling around the ghost town and just being out of my duplex for a moment. The fresh air helped my stress, which helped my head. The peacefulness of the passage healed me in many ways. But then my bladder attacked me. The public bathrooms were closed, due to COVID everything was closed -- which I knew could happen -- all La Conner closed except this store. Upon walking in I inquired about a bathroom, and was told no, absolutely no bathrooms for the public. I told them my story, the headache, the weird people I share a duplex with, how far from home I was, and asked if they knew of any other store or even a gas station in the general area that had a one... eventually Leeann just let me use the bathroom. Except she got in trouble for it. She should not have, she was only doing the HUMAN THING... she was being a GOOD PERSON, a KIND & CARING, COMPASSIONATE PERSON. I don't know if they will read this, but with everything going on in the world I know everyone need to be more careful than ever, but we also need compassion and to help and care for one another. We need more Leeanns in this world. read more

This store is a small store in a small tourist town. They have a fairly good selection and if you want something particular in a decent quantity they will try to get it. Prices are not out of range when you figure a 30 minute drive to the next store. The management is fantastic at all levels. The employees are friendly, knowledgeable and quick to offer help. Make sure to grab a basket as 1 item turns into many quickly and there are no counters at checkout. An excellent deli with a lot of choices. If you know you are coming the day before they have Gluten Free Pizza and other items that can be ready for you. Parking is tight but turns over fairly quickly. No public restrooms but the town provides just a block away. If you drink they have a pretty good selection. Do not miss the fun bears by the coolers. Michael J Hennessey read more

Given the size of the store, they more than make it work by including a large selection of a variety of products. From wine and chocolate to groceries, hot food, and even work safety clothing, Pioneer Market is setup to handle whatever you need. They close at 10 which seemed really great, especially in the off season. Their staff seemed really nice, helpful, and had great personalities. read more

Ok they have a salad bar now so no more limp leafed salads. They have homemade enchiladas in the deli case and they delicious... not too cheesy lots of meat and cilantro. And if you are in La Conner and in of a filling quick breakfast their breakfast burritos are amazing! Get there before 9 because the secrets out and they go fast! Our favorite cashier Mary is still there to give you a friendly hurumph as she rings you up... but she's usually not on the register these days. All the workers there may not give you the cheesiest happiest "have a super duper day!!!" but are genuinely nice and helpful. read more

Pioneer Market is the best!! Mary S. is the best customer employee. She truly is so precious and helpful. I miss Barry as manager but new manager is nice. read more

Prices tend to be a little higher than what you might find at a big chain grocery store in Anacortes, but if you don't want to drive that far, this is the place to go. They offer a surprisingly wide variety of items, from upscale cheese to bungee cords. You will probably find the item you're looking for, even though it may not be the specific brand/size/flavor you wanted. Fresh produce selection is limited, but they stock a lot of local produce. If you're looking for beer, don't forget to go inside the refrigerated "beer cave." Protip: Negotiating the parking lot's diagonal spots can be tricky, especially at busy times. if it's available, choose the parking spot on the street (Morris St) in front of the parking lot. Sure you have to walk an extra three feet, but it's worth it for the convenience of being to pull right out onto the street. read more

Friendly cashiers, had a good selection of the zip ties I was looking for.

There are some definite pros and cons to this grocery store. I'll start with the pros: - They have a little bit of everything. You may not find your favorite brand or type of something, but they will likely have some version of what you're looking for (want Ore Ida hash brown patties? You won't find Ore Ida or hash brown patties, but you will find frozen hash browns...) - They have family members working there which gives it a sort of family business feel. - Most of the workers I've encountered there are very friendly. - They have camping supplies. The cons: - The parking lot is small and perilous. They even have a warning sign to back out carefully. Okay, I'll be careful, but how can I be sure the guy next to me will? And there isn't very much parking. On a holiday weekend, the lot can be full. - The aisles are very narrow. Last time I was there, I had to stand and wait for a lady with a cane to make her way past 3 aisles before she got enough out of the way for me to continue on. Even then we brushed shoulders, which made me feel bad cuz I didn't want to knock her over. - Some of the employees *aren't* so... not necessarily friendly, but I had one guy be overly flirtatious with me *with my husband standing right there.* - Finding things can be tricky. You have to look everywhere because the trick to having a little bit of everything in a fairly small store is to use every bit of space possible. That means stuff is hanging from hooks above shelves, between shelves, on pegs in places you wouldn't normally expect to find product... If you think they don't carry something, just pretend you're playing one of those seek and find games and keep looking. You might just find it! - Produce quality can be anywhere from questionable to yucky. We generally just pass on produce and go to one of the many local farmer's markets instead. - Watch those expiration dates and check food quality carefully. We bought some moldy shredded cheese there. They took it back and gave us a refund, but not until they tried to convince us the mold was just spices. - The cash registers have no counter. This can be anywhere from just strange (you have to hand your items directly to the cashier) to downright cumbersome if you are carrying more than you intended and there's a line. You have to hold your stuff until the cashier takes it, one at a time, rings it up and puts it in a bag. Overall, it's the best thing in La Conner unless you want to drive to Anacortes. read more

This place is amazing. Great people and great products. Prices a bit higher than chains but they are very high quality products and it is a very friendly store. I would definitely recommend it to anybody passing through or if you live in the area. Thanks! read more

I have never needed something I couldn't find in this store. So nice to have a grocery store nearby when you need a bottle of wine or stuff to make dinner. Love this store! read more

The younger clerks are assistive, while the older ones are merely punching their time cards. Went to get popcorn, yet one of the bags were open by rodents eating the some of the popcorn. My girlfriend has gotten items that shouldn't have been on the shelf or cooler. i.e. cheese Seems some items can run out as if they don't use or pay attention to what sells, or doesn't. Generally a point of sales system these days should be assistive to reordering. Much anymore I'll just drive to Anacortes, even though I am a resident of La Conner. read more
